QUALITY EDUCATION
ALL CHILDREN DESERVE ACCESS TO QUALITY EDUCATION
Our kids deserve a quality education, focusing on academics - reading, writing, history, mathematics, and science. But poorly chosen curricula, wasteful spending and a disregard for proven teaching standards have resulted in declining test scores. Since the 2014-2015 school year:
- 3rd grade reading proficiency has declined by 8%
- 3rd grade math proficiency has declined by 15%
- Math 1 proficiency has declined by 51%.
Improving the quality of education begins with well qualified teachers who are teaching using an unbiased curriculum. This curriculum must be consistent among all grades. To help kids who have fallen behind, provide after school tutoring as well as targeted summer programs.
Do you have more questions about making sure our kids receive the quality education they deserve? Do you have ideas? Or issues that you want to see addressed?
I would love to hear from you!
